>Nope, and this is actually what leads to some of the weirdnesses of entanglement. Since in terms of information, if you have two particles A and B, that are identical, AB and BA are the same states.
💡That makes a ton of sense. I should have thought of that sooner.

>So then do we know for sure photons actually move and don't just vibrate or something causing the next one in the chain to vibrate or something like that? Kind of how AC current works except with photons?
Does it matter if individual photons move?
All that matters is the end result.
